Yes, there are other articles. For example, Rick Strelan, Carl Conrad,
and myself all
wrote on this very subject nearly two years ago. In the archives, look
under "genitive
absolute" 2000/10/29 (Rick S). In my article, I explained that the
genitive absolute
is not always used in an "absolute" manner in the New Testament and in
Koine
generally.
